Description

In conjunction with Ladies of Code, Sage is excited to announce a fantastic talk by our guest speaker Robin Christopherson + Archie.

From AI to robots, from apps to wearables - let's design for everyone, OK?

Robin Christopherson, of the leading UK inclusive tech experts AbilityNet, will thoroughly and wonderfully blast away any preconceptions you may have about the potential of technology to help everyone. Being blind himself he provides us with an excellent first-hand example of the choices we can provide for all our customers and users if we simply design with an eye for inclusion. Robin will be talking about (but more importantly demonstrating) the truly empowering nature of technology. From AI to robots, from apps to wearables he'll be showing how inclusive technology has the power to change and even transform people's lives regardless of ability or environment. Will you be part of the Everybody Technology future?

To include:

• Demonstrations of a range of apps and technologies people with disabilities find useful - including what Robin uses that enables him to be independent and enjoy the successful career that he does.

• An overview of key accessibility issues and why accessibility is important.

• Various illustrations of why, with the advent of mobile computing, accessibility is no longer a specialist requirement.

It is worth mentioning for anyone with pet allergies that Robin's guide dog will be with him.
